  1. Ask your local vet.Some vets do after hours & many dont.If you phoned your own vet do they do after hrs ,refer or work in a syndicate where different clinics stay open. Our vet does after hrs emergencies. For those vets that dont do after hrs care also ask where your dog stays if in for treatment. In Perth for example many vets dont do after hrs so when they shut for the day the dogs are shipped off to Murdoch vet who i wont use in a pink fit
  2. Hate them even when sharpened properly .Never work & too much stuffing around to pursue them
  3. From day one here. Voice tone easily identifies acceptable & not. If all they here is good then they dont get the wrong.removing is fine but they need to understand why. Even at 13 weeks most dogs grasp things very quickly & it becomes less confusing when there older
  4. The best thing is to ignore him/Simply allow him to come to you when hes ready & he will. Just go on like every thing is normal,acknowledge him with your voice eg when walking past good boy turbo & dont stop. It could take a week or more for him to settle but dont worry .the more you worry the more he will worry.
  5. If you dont use flea wash they wont go away. You dont need injections & using some chemicals far out weighs the suffering the dog goes through & the longer you dont treat it quickly the sooner they will set up in your house/yard. What you have used wont work & infcat many dogs react badly to tea tree oil
  6. there are better brands around .Eco roll is far better
  7. I glazed quickly but couldnt see anything that said tite test instead. These articles are just as dangerous by telling people dont vacc & dont do anything.
  8. What breed. Not all breeds are capabale of living outside & regulating there body temp.Not all breeds can be lumped into the same basic especially given the different climates around australia
  9. yep remove the wandering dew or your vet bills will be enormous & the dog will always be in discomfort. Your vet will prescribe little prednil tabs & send you home.(thats for free ) The quicker you get that out of the garden the quicker your dog will stop scratching
  10. This breed is very different to that of a jack Russell & i wouldnt dream of comparing the 2 needs. Companion breed dogs are that for a reason.People select this trait due to wanting a breed to be part of the family . Our breed is breed for companion needs aswell & we wont sell to someone that wants it outside at night because generally it ends up spending so much time outside than inside. As for breed OP has posted topics before
  11. Why are you giving peanut butter?? Sausage what kind?? What treats do you give(schmackos,pigs ears,coloured bones etc etc) Agree that your first phone call should be with the breeder.They now the pup & can discuss any changes you may have made to the diet . Does he scratch at the same spots.all over?? If its just his belly does he rub his belly on the grass??What areas does he lay in & what plants are there. Go investigate your garden & his known areas,make sure your plant smart .
  12. Wash first with green dishwashing detergent. Sunlight soap works well . I personally for hard stains like the animal house whiter but if your stuck bluo works just aswell
  13. doe the breeder now the jap spitz will be living outside??
  14. Yes i have used it but be warned it will dry the coat out.The areas i did it on didnt touch the skin. Make sure you have a good shampoo/con to use. Personally though i would be trying other things before heading done this path on a tenties coat. Bi carb & water ,make into a paste
  15. dogs are just like humans .where not natural swiimmers. Just because a breed is a "water retriever" also doesnt mean it can swim. All shapes & sizes,;ack of fitness formany,obesity & the list goes on that makes swimming just as hard for dogs.
  16. Yep obedience club controlled & constructive. Socialization is so much more than 2 dogs playing,its about the owners reading situations & being able to deal with. It is important for dogs to learn that another dog doesnt mean play,that play is on your terms & your rules.
  17. Pulling the dead hair out is exactly what your doing with the coat king,Stripping the coat.The coat king if used on the head try backwards On the heads i use a "slick n Easy" stone(most use these on horses) But generally the coat is so dead it falls out,better than thinning it & making it grow back worse each time. Doesnt hurt anymore than normal brushing
  18. I dont use double sided anyway.I only use single sided The double & single work differently so depending on what your wanting you may not get
  19. what do you do for the top of the head, and ears? Ears are clipped per the breed,head we hand strip with a stone,The only part the thinners would touch there is simply for blending Springer head
  20. Will add though there is no need to thin there feathers. The only thinning is blending the throat,bum & feet . yep they exist.Ours get used 5 days a week practically all year & hard work. I have found the Wahl,roseline to be a good budget thinner
  21. Cheap soft crates dont last & if your placing a large breed in then the quality must be there for safety & re sassurance. My large dogs are trained to use there soft crates .I also won one for BIS & when i placed my dog in it & he rolled over he rolled out as the quality was poor. We have replaced the mesh with better quality . I have the ones from the WA canine dog shop.Not cheap but have lasted over 4 years so far
  22. yep we use curash/paw paw basically anything that will give a protection cover & heal. We do chicken & pumpkin here & will aslo give flora max tabs from the chemist to reline the gut with good bactera. We fined the tabs better than the yoghurt as they possess a higher number of good flora
  23. My print this off & show your aunt. She needs to understand that whilst its cute its not helping your pup but reinforcing the behaviour that you reaaly want to not encourage . They often dont see it as an issue as they walk in & then leave but she needs to understand that her actions arent helping the pup at all & it isnt fair on the pup
  24. But often this is the key ,small doses is generally enough,most of these classes are an hour. So what you need to do is allow Milo to have fun & i personally would remove him whilst still enjoying & praise. Sit aside & allow him to watch,hear & then if all is great join again.
  25. This is very common. The most important thing is to ignore her when re entering,guests come etc etc. Ask all friends to walk straight in & ignore.Dont fuss or over excite Most dog grow out of it if you follow the regime but a small few do it for life & it can become a pain
